POLICE Scotland is appealing for help to trace a missing woman from the Isle of Bute who may have travelled to Gourock.

Teressa Bennet, 60, from Rothesay, was last seen at around 8.50am this morning.

She is around 5ft 2ins tall, of medium build, with blonde hair in a bob, and she was thought to be wearing the purple jacket as seen in the photograph.

Inspector Bart Simonis said: "We are becoming increasingly concerned for Teressa's welfare and are keen to trace her as soon as possible.

"Please check any private CCTV or dashcam footage which may help us in tracing her."

She was last spotted in Loch Fad Road in the Isle of Bute, leaving her red and black Toyota Yaris in East Princess Street.

Police believe she may have then went to Gourock. 

Anyone with information should call Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 1628 of 17 June.
